Statement

All his works stem from a desire to integrate the work of painting to the environment in many different and extreme ways. Either through the appropriation of the place or through its modification. It is basically a search for contrasts.

He produced a series of interventions on the sidewalks of the Boulevard Saint-Laurent, which can be viewed from all angles and vaguely reminiscent of children's playgrounds. His style is abstract but is confronted with a radical figuration, by the optical illusion that transforms abstract shapes in 3D representations.

His practice also includes production of canvas related to the theme of integration and appropriation. He likes to paint on wooden supports found in the street, making shape canvas suggesting integration with the environment. These paintings integrate different visual treatments that clash between them, such as realists textures and geometric hard-edge.
